Review on Garmin Vívoactive Smaller Sized Smartwatch Monitoring by Warren Hess

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is a great watch - GPS, viewfinder and accessories

I bought a refurbished Vivoactive 4 watch after considering the Vivoactive 3 and Vivoactive 4S. I'm very happy with the slightly larger screen, and I have a PulseOx that I rarely use, but I like having that option. The condition of mine is indistinguishable from a new watch. The built-in hiking and biking apps are more than good, but I figured out pretty quickly how to add and customize data fields to my liking. It's also great to be able to record each route and share it with yourself or others. I'm blown away by what this watch is capable of and how well it does it all. It also connects to the computer on my e-bike (with an added data field) to give me useful information about my rides. I look forward to trying out the sailing app I downloaded which runs a simple race start sequence and tracks the wind and weather. All in a small portable computer. I'm sure Venu and Frontrunner offer more, but that's enough for me.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Clarity
